If you were going to sit there and cite posts for multiple pages, and the poster says it wasn't him, don't you think you would take a half a second to cross-reference the name?

Of you could have just read the post two pages back where I said it was ME.

Anyway, it was Buckeye_Vol who said milk wasn't seasonal.

And I now think it's technically seasonal (although almost nothing like other agricultural seasons).

Masterful troll. If you really wanted to get me going, you should start on Trump's tax policy. That one douche bag ain't ever gonna hear the end of it when the economy takes off. He disappeared also. I think someone might have threatened him in real life. Which I find scary. or he just created an alt after the election.

Doesn't matter to me. If anyone has a screen name close to his, I'll get confused and take it out on him instead.

TBH the kompromat theory is entirely credible to me. It would explain why Trump is so consistently obsequious to Putin.

---

Doesn't really make sense. If Trump is really in cahoots with Putin, he would just tell Putin "I need to insult you every now and then for show". Putin understands how our political system works. And he would gladly take a barrage of public insults to get something he really wanted.

I'll give you a hint, part of it has to do with increased costs of inputs during certain months.

Many products has seasonal variances with respect to production costs, demand, weather disruptions, etc. US milk production is pretty uniform through the calendar year. Here is a link to Wisconsin farm reports that you can dig through. Production is pretty steady throughout the year.

There isn't a "dairy season". Yes, certain farms will move to a seasonal production schedule in order "sync" up their cows to make their farms more efficient, but this is a business decision.

USDA adjusts price methodolgy for dairy due to seasonal variations.

Really, this started in Wisconsin after dairy farmers explaied to Trump milk was seasonal there due to corn production. They needed seasonal labor for this, and were concerend about his comment on immigration. They expressed a lot of concern, and Trump mentioned it in a debate. And it took off from there. Especailly the next day by the never Trumpers.

Not to belabor the point about how seasonal it is, or whether some seasonal variations make it seasonal, but suffice it to say, the USDA clearly states numerous times milk and dairy are seasonal. Lots of reasons, including gestation periods, crop prices etc., temporary labor etc

I have been critical of Trump, and will continue to be where warranted, but seasonal milk, tariff like policies countered with a tariff being unilateral and his tax policy are so often misquoted and taken out of context, I draw the line there.

Silly erallly, but of all the things that you can criticize him about, the baove three isues aren't among them.

I knew by the reaction after the Wisconsin debate that Trump could very well be elected. Well, I really knew it in 2011 when I had first met him, and he was serious about running them, but decided not to. And I really knew it after Iowa's R dinner in 2014. But after the Wisct debate when I saw people stretching about seasonal milk, I had concluded that people that didnt like him were scared. To be fair, I also saw internal Iowa polling all the way through election day, and saw some Florida and Ohio polling, but not as often.

Anyway, seasonal milk, and unfair characterizations of his comments about tariffs and tax policy trigger me.
